Maia Ellis came in last season as a big addition to what we are building, and this year she continued to hit that mark and become a leader for our team on-and-off the court. Our two freshmen, Serinity and Maddi, came in this season and made an immediate impact to our team.Our players put in a lot of time on the court for the outcome of our season to turn out the way it did with a Region 4 championship. I'm extremely proud and admire them and all they gave to our program to break so many records and make HerStory this season at Madison College."
